3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 9.1 channel system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1
channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 34).
You can even enjoy the 9.1 channel surround sound by connecting four surround speakers (see
“Selecting the speaker system” on page 50).
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (R)
Surround speaker (R)
Front speaker (L)
Sub woofer
Surround speaker (L)
Surround back speaker (R)
Surround back speaker (L)
Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
Speaker impedance
To enjoy the best possible multi channel surround, connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 8
ohms or higher to the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND BACK terminals, and set
the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “8Ω”. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your
speakers if you are not sure of their impedance. (This information is often on the back of the speaker.)
Alternatively, you may connect speakers with nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to any or all
of the speaker terminals. However, be sure to set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω” if you
connect even one speaker with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
Note
Be sure to turn the power off before adjusting the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

Tip
To connect certain speakers to another power amplifier, use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal is output from both
the SPEAKERS FRONT jacks and the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if you want to connect just the front speakers
to another amplifier, connect that amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L and R jacks.
Enjoying the 9.1 channel speaker system
What is the 9.1 channel speaker system?
A large dubbing theater for recording movie soundtracks uses 10 surround speakers. However, in a
small dubbing theater, only 2 speakers each are placed on the right, left, and back walls. Thus, the
minimum setup for a dubbing theater is 9.1 channels. When SPEAKERS SURROUND is set to A+B,
you can enjoy 9.1 channel speaker operation, just like a dubbing theater.
Arrange the speakers around the center
of the room based on the angles shown in
the illustration on the left. If you are
unable to position the speakers according
to the angles shown, place one set of
surround speakers slightly forward of the
listening position (toward the front
speakers).
Although the center of the room is used
as an axis for determining speaker
placement, 9.1 channel speaker
operation covers an extremely wide
listening area which you can enjoy from
anywhere in the room behind the central
point.
When using the CINEMA STUDIO EX modes with the 9.1 channel system, be sure to set Virtual
Speaker to OFF in SURR SET UP. (You can enjoy the surround effects of movies even without the use
of virtual speakers since so many real speakers are used.)
In addition, unlike virtual speakers, the expressive capability of real speakers will vary depending on
the speaker. Adjust the effect level so that the actor’s lines sound natural and the impact of sound effects
is nicely balanced.
The advantage of a 9.1 channel speaker system is a drastic improvement in the connection between the
front (video) sound field and the surround sound field. Previously, we have employed virtual speaker
technology to present this sound effect, but a real 9.1 channel multi channel surround system has a
much wider effect area so that all family members can enjoy the surround effect. Of course, when
seated in the middle of the listening position, you can enjoy the sound exactly as the movie director
listened.
Tips for placing speakers
Place surround speakers B between the front speakers and the listening position. Adjusting the position of these
speakers improves the connection between the front and surround sound stage.
Tips for using the 9.1 channel speaker system
You can also use the CINEMA STUDIO EX modes with the 9.1 channel speaker system. In this case, the number of
virtual surround speakers doubles (for a total of 12 virtual surround speakers).

However, this large number of speakers may narrow the surround effect area. Thus, it may be more effective to set
“VIR.SPEAKERS” in the SURR SET UP menu to “OFF”.
Please note that the front L/R and center speakers are common to all modes, and this function only changes the use
of the surround speakers. Depending on how you use SPEAKERS FRONT to switch the front speaker system (A/B),
and how you set “CENTER SP” in the SPEAKER SET UP menu (“YES” or “MIX”), you can set up two completely
different systems. For example, you can set up a 2 channel or 4 channel speaker system for pure audio sources, and
a 7.1 channel speaker system for AV sources.
Please note that in most cases you can use the 9.1 channel setting for Super Audio CD and other pure audio sources
without any adjustments. However, depending on the type of speakers you have and the way the music software was
recorded, you may want to switch to 7.1 channel or 5.1 channel playback. In such cases, you should set up your
surround speaker system to switch between A and B. Use surround speakers B for 5.1 channel operation and surround
speakers A+B for 9.1 channel operation.

Tip
For more information, see “Speaker setup
parameters”.
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the
sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
Notes
• Certain setup parameters may be dimmed in the
display. This means that the selected parameter
is either unavailale or fixed and unchangeable
due to sound field (pages 32–34) or other
settings.
x FRONT SP (Front speakers)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
When the sub woofer is set to “NO”, front
speakers are automatically set to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
• Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed
in the display. This means that they have been
adjusted automatically due to other speaker
settings. Depending on the settings, you may or
may not be able to adjust certain speakers.
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, the center, surround and surround
back speakers are also automatically set to
“SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set
all of the items that follow.
Note
Before setting up the surround speakers, select the
surround speakers you use (page 51).
Speaker setup parameters
x CENTER SP (Center speaker)
The initial settings are underlined.
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker
to “LARGE”.
x SP EASY SET UP (Speaker easy setup)
• YES
You can set up your speakers automatically
by selecting a pre-defined speaker pattern (see
the supplied “Easy Setup Guide”).
• NO
• SMALL

• NO or MIX
• SINGLE
If you did not connect a center speaker, select
“NO” or “MIX”. When set to “MIX”, the
sound of the center speaker can be output
from the front speakers without deteriorating
the sound quality. For details, see “MIX
SCALING” in the CUSTOMIZE menu
(page 41). The sound of the center channel
will be output from the front speakers.
When the multi channel input is selected,
analog downmixing is performed. Whether
the setting is “NO” or “MIX”.
If you connect only one surround back
speaker, select “SINGLE”. The sound will be
output to a maximum of 6.1 channels.
• NO
If you did not connect surround back
speakers, select “NO”.
Tip
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether or not the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
x SURROUND SP-A
(Surround speaker-A)
x SURROUND SP-B
(Surround speaker-B)
However, it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore,
even when using small speakers, you can set them to
“LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies
from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using
a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies
output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass,
you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the equalizer, see page 39.
The surround back speakers are set to the same
setting.
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the surround
speakers to “LARGE”.
x FRONT XX feet
(Front speaker distance)
• SMALL
Initial setting: 10 feet
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
surround channel bass frequencies from the
sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
• NO
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the front speakers (A). You can
adjust from 3 feet to 23 feet in 1 foot steps.
If both front speakers are not placed an equal
distance from your listening position, set the
distance to the closest speaker.
If you did not connect surround speakers,
select “NO”.

Tip
When placing two surround back speakers
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the
center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the
center speaker cannot be set more that 5 feet closer
than the front speakers.
(The angle B should be the same)
A
A
30˚ 30˚
Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set farther
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther
away.

x CENTER XX feet
(Center speaker distance)
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3–6
feet closer than the actual speaker position will create
a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen.
If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect
because the surround speakers are too close, setting the
surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will create a larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound
often results in much better surround sound. Give it a
try!
Initial setting: 10 feet
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the center speaker. You can adjust
from 3 feet to 23 feet in 1 foot steps.
x SURROUND-A XX feet
(Surround speaker-A distance)
x SURROUND-B XX feet
(Surround speaker-B distance)
Initial setting: 10 feet
For advanced speaker setups
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround speakers. You can
adjust from 3 feet to 23 feet in 1 foot steps.
If both surround speakers are not placed an equal
distance from your listening position, set the
distance to the closest speaker.
Use the CUSTOMIZE menu and set “MENU

x SP-A POSI
(Surround speaker-A position)*
Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specifically for
implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so
critical. Those sound fields were designed under the
premise that the surround speakers would be located
behind the listening position, but presentation remains
fairly consistent even with the surround speakers
positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the
speakers are pointing toward the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
surround effects becomes unclear unless set to “SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using “BEHD” if your speakers are
located high above the listening position, even if they
are to the immediate left and right.
x SP-B POSI
(Surround speaker-B position)*
Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers
for proper implementation of the surround effects in
the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 32).

CONTROL A1II Control
System
Connections
The CONTROL A1II Control System was
designed to simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony
components. CONTROL A1II connections
provide a path for the transmission of control
signals which enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with
integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1II connections
between a Sony CD player, amplifier (receiver),
MD deck and cassette deck provide automatic
function selection.
You can connect up to 10 CONTROL A1II
compatible components in any order. However,
you can connect only one of each type of
component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1 MD deck, 1 tape
deck and 1 amplifier).
(You may be able to connect more than one CD
player or MD deck, depending on the model.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with
the respective component for details.)
Example
Note
Do not operate a 2 way remote control unit when the
CONTROL A1II jacks are connected via a PC
interface kit to a personal computer running “MD
Editor” or similar application. Also, do not operate the
connected component in a manner contrary to the
functions of the application, as this may cause the
application to operate incorrectly.
MD
deck
Tape
deck
CD

Other
components
Amplifier
(Receiver)
In the CONTROL A1II control system, the
control signals flow both ways, so there is no
distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a component
has more than one CONTROL A1II jack, you
can use either one, or connect different
components to each jack.
Some CONTROL A1 compatible components
are supplied with a connecting cord as an
accessory. In this case, use the connecting cord
for your connection.
CONTROL A1II and CONTROL A1
compatibility
The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated
to the CONTROL A1II which is the standard system in
the Sony 300 disc CD changer and other recent Sony
components. Components with CONTROL A1 jacks
are compatible with components with CONTROL
A1II, and can be connected to each other. Basically,
the majority of the functions available with the
CONTROL A1 control system will be available with
the CONTROL A1II control system.
When using a commercially available cord, use
a monaural (2P) mini-plug cord less than 2
meters long, with no resistance.
However, when making connections between
components with CONTROL A1 jacks and
Basic Functions
components with CONTROL A1II jacks, the number
of functions that can be controlled may be limited
depending on the component. For detailed information,
refer to the operating instructions supplied with the
component(s).
The input selector on the receiver automatically
switches to the correct input when you press the
play button on one of the connected components
(Auto input selection).
The CONTROL A1II functions will operate as
long as the component you want to operate is
turned on, even if all of the other connected
components are not turned on.
If you have a Sony CD changer with a
COMMAND MODE selector
If your CD changer’s COMMAND MODE
selector can be set to CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3, be
sure to set the command mode to “CD 1” and
connect the changer to the CD jacks on the
amplifier (receiver).
Note
When recording, do not play any components other
than the recording source. It will cause the automatic
input selection to operate.

• For details about compatible signals, see page 63.
This receiver cannot process incompatible signals
such as DV, MICROMV, or MPEG-TS. Some
i.LINK components conform to copy protection
technology standards and handle encrypted signals.
This receiver conforms to the copy protection
technology of DTLA (Revision 1.2).
• Sound fields and LIP SYNC function (page 41) are
not activated when DSD signals are input to this
receiver.
Establishing a LINC
Before an audio signal can be transmitted
between i.LINK components, a LINC (Logical
INterface Connection) must first be established
between the component receiving the audio
signal and the component sending the audio
signal. Establishing a LINC means establishing
a logical path for the transmission of digital
audio signals between the two components.
Each logical path has an ID number. Since the
component that sends an audio signal must
output the signal to a path, and the component
that receives the signal must input it from the
same path, the path must be mutually known by
both components. During the establishment of a
LINC, the following communication occurs
between the two i.LINK components.
Example
This receiver establishes a LINC with SCD-
XA9000ES. Select i.LINK using the INPUT
SELECTOR on this unit, and set the player to i.LINK
output mode.

Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
off and unplug the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your
receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On power sources
• Before operating the unit, check that the operating
voltage is identical with your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate
at the rear of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a long
time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall
outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• (Models of area code U, CA only)
One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the
purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only
one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not
a malfunction. If you continuously use this unit at a
large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side
and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life of the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a
television, video deck or cassette deck. (If the
receiver is being used in combination with a
television, video deck or cassette deck and is placed
too close to that equipment, noise may result, and
picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely
when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
